ancientpeoples:Chariot Fitting5th Century BC - 4th Century BCEastern Zhou DynastyBronze chariot fitting in the shape of an animal head cast fully in the round with projecting ears, large eyes set beneath striated brows, and modelled nostrils and jaw. Gold and silver inlays enhance the features and add a geometric patterned surface on the underside. The eyes were formerly set with glass which has now decayed. A rectangular socket at the back, pierced top and bottom by square holes, fitted the head to a wooden shaft.(Source: The British Museum) -- source link
